Follow the Markdown: Chanel Boots

Today, I happened upon the most peculiar pair of Chanel boots. They are a calfskin short boot that is set on a platform that looks like faux-verdigris.

When I asked to try them on, a group of salesmen started to chuckle. Turns out, I was the first customer to slip on these artful boots. They've been in the store since late-August!

Needless to say, these boots are bound to get majorly reduced from their price tag of about $1200. The only question is how much? Lets take bets. How much do you think these boots will be marked down? Remember, there is none of the double-Cs, chains or quilting that comfort many Chanel customers.

This is the real deal gurl!
